Jacksonville's 72-Hour Rule — Most Permissive Major Florida City

Jacksonville Ordinance Code Section 656.402 sets a 72-hour street parking limit for recreational vehicles — the most permissive limit of the three major Florida cities covered on this site. Jacksonville and Duval County merged in 1968 (Consolidated City-County Government), creating a lower-density, more dispersed jurisdiction that produces more permissive vehicle storage rules than compact cities like Tampa or Orlando.

Driveway and Property Storage

Jacksonville permits driveway and backyard RV storage under standard conditions with no specific city-imposed time limit. Code enforcement at (904) 255-8474 is primarily complaint-driven. First violations allow 30 days to comply.

St. Johns County — Not Jacksonville

If your address is in Ponte Vedra Beach, Nocatee, or World Golf Village, you are in St. Johns County — not Jacksonville city. St. Johns County enforces its own rules and Nocatee in particular is a master-planned community with active HOA governance. Verify your county at the St. Johns County Property Appraiser's website.

Frequently Asked Questions
